Within Gary, it adjoins the neighborhoods of Brunswick, Tolleston and Black Oak. In 2000, Westside had a population of 6,153, which was 63.3% African-American and 31.9% white, with 10.1% Hispanic ethnicity.{{sfn|City of Gary|2008|p=156}} Much of the neighborhood's acreage is devoted to industrial and institutional uses, including a landfill.{{sfn|City of Gary|2008|p=156}} Westside's housing stock is concentrated in the northeast and southern areas. In 2000, its 2,340 housing units were 92% occupied and 60% owner-occupied.{{sfn|City of Gary|2008|p=156}} Most development in the area occurred after 1960, giving it a younger housing stock than most other Gary neighborhoods.{{sfn|Catlin|1993|p=97}} In 2007, the neighborhood had the third highest housing values in Gary, behind Miller and Ambridge Mann.{{sfn|City of Gary|2008|p=114}} The 1964 comprehensive plan for Gary had designated the entire Westside area for industrial use, but "the area was invaded by speculators, who built isolated housing tracts".{{sfn|Catlin|1993|p=97}} Construction continued into the 1970s, including some affordable housing projects. Westside and Miller were the only neighborhoods in Gary to increase population between 1970 and 1980, when Westside's population reached 6,368.{{sfn|Catlin|1993|p=90}} However, crime soon became problematic; in 1984, when Westside was still largely middle-class, the Jewel supermarket serving the area closed because repeated thefts and robberies.{{sfn|Catlin|1993|p=76}} Today, retail business in Westside is quite limited, except for a retail cluster near the Burr Street exit of the Borman Expressway, on the boundary between Westside and Black Oak.{{sfn|City of Gary|2008|p=153}} Westside has an elementary school and West Side High School. There is an 8-acre city park, Seberger Park, near the neighborhood's southwestern corner.[1] References
